Because you demanded it, a new song…

I've got a bad<br /> feeling about this...

"WHEN YOU WISH UPON A DEATH STAR"
by the great Luke Ski
Available now for free download at http://www.thefump.com

In 2009 when it was announced that Disney bought Marvel, I quickly posted a song about it at the FuMP .com called "Marvel Poppins", which the fans really seemed to enjoy.

Three weeks ago when it was announced that Disney bought Lucasfilm, known primarily for the "Star Wars" franchise, within hours I was inundated with emails, texts, tweets, and Facebook messages from people demanding that I do a follow up song on this topic, including an email inquiry from Dr. Demento himself. And with that I said, "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go."

So, with the Star Wars franchise's history of making alterations to their films and re-releasing them into theaters, I present to you now a sneak preview of what to expect the next time you go to the cinema to see the saga again under it's new mouse-ear-hat-wearing, pixie-dust-laiden management. You're welcome.

Music by Supreme Chancellor Bob Emmet
Guest vocals by Princess Carrie Dahlby
and Prince Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad

If you're interested in hearing any of my 11 previous "Star Wars" related songs, or my 4 previous "Disney" related songs, check out my Artist Page at the FuMP, or visit my website http://www.thegreatlukeski.com.

I hope you all like this song and will share it with your friends online. I hope this song becomes a hit and goes viral. After all, as the force dictates, if I keep on believing, the dream that I wish will come true. 😉

You may not have heard about this, but "The Hobbit" hits movie theatres in 2 weeks! Well, part one of what is now a trilogy hits theatres on December 14th anyway. This seemed like the perfect excuse for me to get off of my old-media, outdated-business-model butt and finally post my music video for my most popular song of all time, "Stealing LIke A Hobbit" to YouTube. At the end, I added a plug for my new piece "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" at the FuMP, in the hopes to give that some more attention as well. So as you and your friends online get hyped for part one of "The Hobbit", please help get me some publicity by sharing "Stealing Like A Hobbit" with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else that nerdy web traffic is generated. Thanks, and enjoy your second breakfast!

Their goal is to raise $4,300 by January 4th, 2013. So if you have the means to do so, please donate something so we can help Devo Spice and help Dementia Radio!
